He lapped me at a desert race out in Johnson Valley in 92' or 93' and it was a beautiful site to see him fly by. His bike skipped across the desert hucking a bucket of rocks every time it touched. RIP.

I was blessed to go to high school with him a few months in Boulder City. Class of 89 !

Danny would be in a Trophy truck these days, and probably have what, 20 class championships under his belt. RIP to the greatest.

1:50 an Danny Hamel fastest of all wide open ! I can watch that over and over..

1:53 "listen to the engine, he never lets off"

Danny could..

Thanks for the vid! Smooth and wicked fast!

he was awesome rip.

I was there for the Ely grand Prix. It is were I live. I was a teenager. and the race was a 28 mile cource 4 lap event. over some of the roughest and most trecheress terrain you ever seen in your life. then it went straight through central and east Ely. I remember he one every race till the event ended in 1995 I remember he would be the first one in the pits every time usually with a 10-15 minute lead over the next rider!!!!!!!! I remember the 94 grand prix he lapped Tye Davis twice!!!!!!!!!!RIP

Damn that 2 stroke sounds good. This is a KX500 right ?

F.A.S.T........🤘

How the heck did you compile all this video?! Amazing job!

He was rad!

Thank you for posting THat that was Bitchen stufff that guy was So Fast..

I still ride the same Trails in the Ely G P and I do not understand how he made it through there so fast.....HE IS AND ALLWAYS BE A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! live forever DH1 much love. and what a lose of talent. I still to this day think he won more desert races in his sweet but somewhat short career. No rider to this day has won as many!!!!! I heard his Life ended in baja by crashing into some drunk locals were driving there car in reverse on the course?DH was doing over 120 when hehit thecar?

I actually watched an old video of the accident aftermath and people trying to help him, he was gone 😢 such a tragic scene, I just can't wrap my head around how many years score ran through paved roads with 0 speed limits
